  1. Danzig

    #danzig #glenndanzig #rickrubin #eightiesrock #rock #rockmusic #heavymetal #bluesrock #music #musicsky #musiciansky #defamerican Danzig releases the self-titled debut album on August 9, 1988. Outside of the stripped down, heavy blues rock and metal sound, we get the first look at Glenn Danzig's crooning paired with those dark, occult lyrics. The album is produced by the soon-to-be-legendary Rick Rubin on his Def American label.

  3. CW: George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Bad to the Bone

    George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Bad to the Bone

    George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Bad to the Bone

    "Bad to the Bone" aus dem Jahr 1982 ist der bekannteste Song des amerikanischen Bluesrock-Musikers George Thorogood und seiner Band The Destroyers. Getragen wird das Stück von einem tiefen, wummernden Gitarrenriff, das man sofort wiedererkennt.

    Interessant ist, dass Thorogood den Song eigentlich gar nicht selbst singen wollte. Zuerst bot er ihn den großen Blueslegenden Muddy Waters und Bo Diddley an, doch beide sagten ab. So nahm Thorogood das Lied schließlich selbst auf. Sein Plattenlabel bestand ohnehin darauf, denn genau wegen dieses Songs hatte man ihn unter Vertrag genommen.

    Im Text geht es augenzwinkernd um einen Mann, der durch und durch ein Schlitzohr ist, ein Draufgänger ohne jede Reue. Berühmt wurde vor allem auch das Musikvideo, das damals rauf und runter auf MTV lief. Darin betritt Thorogood eine Billardkneipe und fordert ausgerechnet Bo Diddley zu einer Partie Poolbillard heraus.

    Obwohl der Song in den Charts nie ganz oben stand, wurde er über die Jahre zu einem echten Klassiker. Das lag vor allem daran, dass er in unzähligen Filmen und Werbespots auftauchte, unter anderem in "Terminator 2".

  5. Janis and Bessie … 

    #janisjoplin #bessiesmith #blues #austin #bluesrock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Oddly enough, Pearl was nervous singing in public back in her days in Austin. She’d sing Bessie Smith blues songs. Bessie had been killed in a car accident back in the 30′s and her grave had remained unmarked for over 30 years. A Philadelphia newspaper started a fundraising campaign to fix that injustice and on August 8, 1970, Janis paid what remained due…

  9. Album Recommendations – August 2026


    I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed.  Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will too

    Kieran Hebden, the English electronic musician who typically releases music under the name Four Tet, has opted to make his latest release nearly impossible to find on streaming services.  Set aside that the artist, album, and track listing are all written in unpronounceable “wingdings,” this is an engaging mix of spiritual and danceable tracks.

    AlbumForeign Tongues
    Artist: Rolling Stones
    Genre: Blues Rock
    Release Date: July 10, 2026
    Label:Polydor | Capitol
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Rough and Twisted
    • Ringing Hollow
    • Never Wanna Lose You
    • Beautiful Delilah

    It seems inexplicable that the Rolling Stones are still releasing new music in the 2020s much less some of their best music since the 1970s.  The Blues Rock extravaganza features guest appearances from Steve Winwood, Robert Smith (of The Cure), Bruno Mars, and Paul McCartney, as well as some of the final contributions of the late drummer Charlie Watts.

    Album: Florida Water Blues
    Artist: Twisted Teens
    Genre: Garage Rock
    Release Date: July 10, 2026
    Label: Going Underground Records
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Why Did You Miss It?
    • Swamp
    • Florida Water Blues
    • Weather the Season

    Twisted Teens are back with their second album of folk-and-country inflected, swampy, garage rock.  See my March post for their previous release.

    Album: Emotional Junglist
    Artist: Nia Archives 
    Genre: Jungle, R&B, Indie Rock
    Release Date: July 17, 2026
    Label: Hijinxx | Island
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Feelingz Go Numb
    • Danger
    • Get Me Down
    • Superlust
    • Boys in Blue

    English DJ/producer/singer/songwriter Nia Archives is a self-described junglist, but this album doesn’t fit one genre.  The tracks explore R&B, Indie Rock, and Dream Pop to the extent that I sometimes forget that it’s the same artist.

     

    Album: América!
    Artist: Orquesta Akokán
    Genre: Latin Jazz
    Release Date: July 17, 2026
    Label: Daptone Records
    Favorite Tracks:

    • No Me Voy
    • Hace Tiempo
    • Girassol

    This Cuban-American ensemble keeps alive the mambo traditions of the mid 20th century.  The energy of their performance is captured in this live in the studio recording.
